UNITED STATES HARRY SCHWARTZ, OF NEW YORK, N, Y.

PNEUMATIC TOY.

Application led May 9, 1924.

To all @0710711y t may concern.'

Be it known that I, HARRY SCHWARTZ, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at New York city, county and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Pneumatic Toys, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to toys and in particular to one embodying thefeatures of a novelty.

in object of the invention is to provide a toy which when operated bythe person understanding the same, will work in an ordinary manner, butwhich when operated by a person unfamiliar with its structure, willoperate to spray flour or powder into the face.

A. further object is to provide a novel toy having a pinwheel memberwhich together with a whistle may be operated to amuse the user.

A further object is to provide a toy of this character which can bemanufactured cheaply and in large quantities.

Referring to the drawings wherein I have shown a preferred embodiment ofmy invention,

Figure 1 is a view in side elevation, a part thereof being shown insection of a toy novelty constructed in accordance with my idea.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the same, and

Figure 3 is an end elevation taken at the mouthliiece end of the toy. l

Referring to the drawing in detail, 5 indicates the body of thetoy whichis hol.- `lowed as at 6 to provide an interior chamber, a cover 7, beingpositioned on top of the body to close the top of the chamber. rlfhecover may be provided with a suitable stopper 8, which will allowrefilling the chamber 6.

Extending longitudinally through the o body 5, beneath the chamber 6 .isa bore 9,

the forward end of which is provided with a reed or like sound emittingmember l0. A tubular mouthpiece 11 is insertable into said bore 9, sothat air may be blown therethrough and through the whistle 10.

Serial No. 71 1,952.

The forward end of the body 5 is provided with the standards 11 havingsupported therebetween a suitable pinwheel 12, which is adapted to beoperated by the passage of air through the mouthpiece and whistleagainst the blades 13 of the pinwheel. rifhe end of the mouthpiece isprovided on the side thereof with a suit-able opening 14, so arrangedthat when the mouthpiece is revolved, the said opening 141 may bebrought into register with a suitable passage-way 15, connecting thechamber 6 with the bore 9. In the position shown in Figure 1, theopening 111 is not in register with the passage-way 15, therefore, whena stream of air is blown from the mouthpiece and whistle and strikes thepinwheel 12, the latter is revolved and the whistle is blown. lWhen themouthpiece is revolved so that the opening 14 is in register with thepassage 15, the air blown from the mouthpiece will not only operate thewhistle and the wheel, but a part thereof will enter the chamber 6 whichis filled with Hour or other like powder 16, and cause the same to beblown through the small openings 17 in the body 5, disposed above themouthpiece 11. 'Ihe powder blown through the openings will of course,strike the face of the blower.

I may provide on the box a marking 18, and a similar marking 19 on themouthpiece, so that when the two marks are in register, the opening 14in the mouthpiece will coincide with the passage 15, but when the markslare separated, the whistle may be safely blown without any disturbanceof the flour or powder'. The tube will normally close the bottom of thepassage and the powder being of an adherent nature will not tend to fallout of the passage-way.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that I have provided an interestingand novel toy which can be utilized either as a whistle or as a tricktoy when desired, which will give amusement to the user.

Having described my invention, what I claim is:

A toy comprising a body portion having a powder chamber therein and alongitudinal fgbore beneath said chamber, said bore and chamber having acommunicating passage, a Whistle in the end of said bore, a pipe adaptedto be rotatably held in said bore and I having a side opening adapted toregister with said passage, the chamber having an opening' in one endthereof whereby when the Whistle is sounded the powder will pass throughthe chamber opening, a mark on said pipe, and a mark on the bodyportion, 'said marks When in register indicating that the side openingof the pipe and The coinxnunicating passage are in alignment.
